Statement of the (Russian) Ministry of Defence on the termination of the grain deal:

Looks like Russia is beginning in earnest to set its sights on Odessa to choke off Ukraine’s access to the Black Sea. Given that they’re also on the attack in northern Ukraine, we may be witnessing the beginning of their long-anticipated offensive. The neocons must be shi**ing the bed.

Statement of the (Russian) Ministry of Defence on the termination of the grain deal:

? From 20 July 00:00 Moscow time, all ships sailing in the waters of the Black Sea to Ukrainian ports will be considered as potential carriers of military cargoes.

? The flag countries of such ships will be considered to be involved in the Ukrainian conflict on the side of the Kiev regime.

? A number of sea areas in the north-western and south-eastern parts of the international waters of the Black Sea have been declared temporarily dangerous for navigation.

So blockade officialy starts tonight.
